I mean, depending on how much the value of the car has changed, you might get lucky. My last car got totaled by severe hail, I’d only paid maybe 30% of it off by that point, but it turned out the value of my vehicle went mostly unchanged, possibly even raised slightly, and insurance paid out the full value of the car. I actually came out ahead a couple thousand dollars, which I was able to then use for a down payment on my current car.
I don’t know a single car available near me that isn’t a complete junker and is under $10,000.
I also don’t know anyone with $5,000 on hand to drop on Anything. I barely even know anyone with $1,000 to drop on anything.
Americans don’t have money for anything, we are buying Groceries using loans at this point. That is not a joke, people are buying essential groceries using Pay Later Loans.

Do people not just buy cars they can afford anymore? When I grew up I didn’t know anyone that was taking out a loan for a car.
People could afford a house on a single income as a Hs grad, too.
Unlike houses I am not sure if cars have increase as much though. You can even find a Nissan leaf dropping below £5k last I checked.

How are you on such high salaries and yet so poor?
